Ambiano Electric Griddle, $24.99 at Aldi
Currently sporting an updated look compared to previous years' designs, the Ambiano Electric Griddle has long earned a solid reputation as a reliable kitchen accessory that comes in handy in many ways. But because it doesn't hit shelves until Wednesday, June 3, Aldi is still being a little secretive about its full specs.
That said, based on our knowledge of past designs and a helpful review by none other than Aldi Reviewer, we can make some educated guesses to help push you over the edge towards snagging one for yourself. For starters, its $25 price tag makes it less expensive than similar styles online while featuring many of the same design features that make its higher-priced counterparts popular in the first place.
The griddle itself is also large enough to cover two burners on most stovetops, though unlike cast-iron griddles, this one can sit on any solid surface, making it a versatile mealtime essential that can be plugged in anywhere. It also comes with an extended power cord, a temperature adjustment knob, a drip grease tray, a sleek nonstick surface and a limited warranty to boot.

Thoughtful Design Details Shoppers Love
As for the specs that truly make a difference, the griddle's power-level knob offers seven adjustable settings, making it easy to handle everything from low-heat breakfasts like eggs and pancakes to high-heat meals like searing meat or roasting vegetables. And in terms of overall footprint and construction, previous models measured roughly 20.4 inches wide by 10.5 inches long and featured a titanium nonstick coating on the cooking surface, with nonslip feet for added stability.
Boasting quick, even heating and a dishwasher-safe design, this griddle is designed to streamline the cooking process with every use. Use it to whip up breakfast at your next HOA meeting, bring it to a cookout as a backup cooking surface, or gift it to a friend who loves expanding their culinary possibilities.
Just be sure to act quickly once it arrives on June 3, as this popular appliance is expected to sell fast. And while you're there, take a look at Aldi's eight Shark Tank food products that are totally worth the hype too.
